PEACHES 
Fresh tree ripened peaches are a delicious fruit that may be 
grown in almost any sheltered location where winters are not 
too severe or springs late or so uncertain that blossoms may 
be harmed. A thorough spray program must be followed to 
avoid peach leaf curl, which is the cause of so many failures. 
Spray during dormant period with Bordo or any of the new 
sprays recommended for this purpose. Rains have a tendency 
to wash off the spray during the winter so several sprays are 
advised. Spraying must be done before buds swell in spring. 
Trees shipped in spring will be sprayed; however, we recom- 
mend spraying again after planting. Plant 18 to 25 feet apart. 
* Denotes varieties that require pollenizing.
